• Designed specifically for variable-message signs and passenger-information displays
• Features an oval-shaped radiation pattern for optimized visibility
• Utilizes a standard through-hole T-1 3/4 package configuration

Applications

• Variable-message signs
• Passenger-information signs
• Public display indicators

Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete and no longer manufactured by Cree LED. Procurement must focus on verified direct substitutes, such as the C566D-BFE-CU34Q3S2, rather than attempting to source the original part number. Verify lifecycle status and substitute compatibility before acquisition.

Selection Notes

Select this component only if the specific oval lens geometry and high-intensity blue output are required for signage applications. Due to its obsolete status, engineers should evaluate the C566D-BFE-CU34Q3S2 as a direct replacement. Ensure that the through-hole mounting style and electrical characteristics align with the target circuit design constraints.

Part Context

The C566C-BFE-CT0V0352 belongs to the Screen Master series, which specializes in LEDs for large-scale public information displays. This series emphasizes high brightness and specific optical patterns suitable for long-distance readability. The component represents a legacy solution for transit and transportation infrastructure signaling systems.

Replacement Considerations

The C566D-BFE-CU34Q3S2 is confirmed as a direct substitute for this obsolete part. Verify mechanical fit and electrical parameters when transitioning to the replacement model.
